Here is what the Washington Post has to say about the fake statistic that 9 out of 10 businesses fail.

“As far as we can tell, there is no statistical basis for the assertion that nine out of 10 businesses fail. It appears to be one of those nonsense facts that people repeat without thinking too clearly about it. ” – Washingtonpost.com

The main reason so many businesses fail is that those who started the business had absolutely NO idea how much work would be involved to make their business successful.

I have been earning a living online since 1998. I had so many people asking how they could learn to do what I do. I finally started a website devoted to educating people as to how to earn a living online.

At least 90% of the questions I received had to do with wanting to know how much time would be involved. It seems that everyone wants one of those business where you can earn HUGE profits for doing little or no work.

When I informed these people that there is no such thing as earning a living without doing any work.. of course they didn’t want to hear that.

They had read all kinds of success stores of those who earned thousands of dollars while only working an hour here and there. This was the kind of business opportunity they were looking for.. not something that actually involved putting in a decent amount of work.

I finally gave up and stopped wasting my time trying to help these people. I hate to have to say it.. but if these lazy people get scammed it is their own fault for buying into the unrealistic notion of being able to earn substantial amounts of money without having to put forth the WORK required to earn that money.

I appreciate your thoughts, but please keep in mind scammers are very effective at what the do. They can take advantage of almost anyone. Blaming victims of scammers is not productive. It is not their own fault for being lied to and stolen from.

Scams run the spectrum from believable to too good to be true. Scammers will take advantage of anything you want or desire. Many people that are taken advantage of by scams do not know anything about running a business and do not know what is realistic or unrealistic. They just see what looks like people that are successful and they are told all they have to do is do what I do. The problem is what they do is lie to people and take their money.

Thank you Ethan for explaining the pathogenic
condition in which people
are sold to believe .
I ve seen people participating to seminars
buying products
brossures CDs selling
Products calling people
having no help from
up lines , company
etc. taken as simple
numbers to recruit
and that’s it
It is a Dracula story .

And the best proof is here in Ethan’s channel
I see many young and ambitious people , asking
Ethan about the masked companies are involved
Come on Friends , use your mind , is there ever
possible to get on a business and cannot find
the elements that constitute a company ??
Cannot find a telephone an office to contact
realize the mission or some verifications of
the entity you want to enter ??
This is because they are hidden in a mess ,
and under covered conditions that are semi legal
or worst completely illegal !!
If I was a legal business I would never apologize
or try to convince for whatever reason .
This is only for some “innocent ” people
to define what is the wrong way they are doing
their “search”!!
